No outages in February? I'm pretty sure there were one or two going on.

Rad Sponge:
I'm no expert, but I bet sending a resume in during February is a little late for a February outage. I would guess that since outages are planned in advance, that contractors would be hiring techs starting months in advance.

RDTroja:
By late February the April outages (usually the last of the outage year) are pretty much staffed. I am sure there are some slots somewhere and a bit of shuffling, but it is often a matter of right-place-at-the-right-time at that time of year. With outages as short as many of them have become, techs have been forced to plan their outages carefully to get enough weeks in and get the plants they want. That should make for a bit less last minute scrambling than we used to see. The work is there, it is just a bit of a different game than it was 5 years ago. Better luck to you in the Fall.
